A 5/5 flying Dragon Spirit for 5 mana that, on cast ETB, fetches any card from outside the game — a "wish" effect granting access to a silver-bullet or finisher from a sideboard/wishboard. In Commander/Brawl this allows retrieving a card from outside the game (typically a companion, or in paper/some formats a sideboard card), making it a powerful toolbox piece when a wishboard is prepared. Its pip-heavy {U}{U} requirement and 5cmc make it better in slower midrange and control shells; its 5/5 flying body is a legitimate threat. Tier-1 in Brawl where the wish effect is most impactful at 25 life and with a single opponent to race.

• The 'card you own from outside the game' clause functions as a Wish in paper Commander/Brawl — players can pre-designate a wishboard (up to 10 cards in Commander, 1 in competitive) to fetch silver-bullets on demand, dramatically raising the card's toolbox ceiling.

• In Arena Brawl, the 'outside the game' clause typically only retrieves a companion if one was registered; without a companion the wish effect is a blank, so the card's value is highly format-environment dependent.

• Unlike most ETB-wish effects, this one requires the creature to have been cast (not flickered or reanimated), so blink and reanimator shells cannot loop the wish repeatedly.
